If a successful boycott of Australis/Google were waged, most would not make the connection.

If Mozilla/Firefox crashes and burns, it will be quite clear that a line in the sand has been drawn.

I urge all to ignore this posting.

Pale Moon is an off-shoot of Firefox some could try as an alternative

I don’t use Google mail or searches.

Screw them. Let them steal someone else’s personal info.

The author seems to think Google is the problem and not Mozilla. And that may be, but it was Mozilla’s board that accepted the resignation, not Google’s. It was Mozilla’s board that apologized for appointing a traditional marriage supporter to CEO.

Mozilla should be boycotted. But maybe Google should too. More evidence of Google’s influence would be appreciated.

Sadly, it will still show up as version 24.4 of Mozilla/Firefox.. which means Google will still give $$ to Mozilla.. :/

Before giving up Seamonkey, I would want to make sure none of the other possible browsers are anti free speech, or promoting the gay Nazis. What are the odds of that? What Mozzila did is appalling, but is it a social/political sickness that doesn’t exist at Google Chrome, Explorer, Opera...? Truth is, I’ve been with Seamonkey since the early days of Netscape. I like the mail program, the composer, the address book, my bookmarks, the way the tools work, and I hate the idea of going to something I don’t like when it would, in all likelihood, be as corrupted politically and culturally as what I would leave.

Which leads to Australis.

Have not heard one good thing about that. Similar to Windows 8 / Metro UI.

I have standardized on FF V17 / Pale Moon V19 anyway, for speed and efficiency reasons. Trying not to use the search bar.

Talk about cognitive dissonance. This essay makes zero sense. He blames google for Eich then says a political boycott will change nothing? How so? Mozilla has shown they are an intolerant anti-traditional family company and will destroy the lives of those they disagree with. Screw ‘em and let them burn. Call them Gayzilla wnd let the angry Al Queerda have it. All gay all the time.

It does read like something I might get from students coming from the Indian sub-continent. It wouldn’t surprise me that many of their developers are either overseas or H1Bs.
